Description Joe Bayes 2008-05-17 00:53:55 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.3)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

When I right-click on the desktop and select "configure desktop", the configure desktop window shows up. "Picture" is blank, as is the preview screen. I click on the "page" doodad to the right of the "picture" pull-down menu, and select my own jpg. The preview screen (and the "Picture" pull-down) are still blank. I click "Apply". Nothing happens. My desktop is still the same as before.

can you set the wallpaper to, e.g, a png?
Comment 2 Joe Bayes 2008-06-16 05:29:36 UTC
Repeating the above with a png and a gif yield the same results. 

However, I notice that when I pull down the menu to the right of the word "Picture", in addition to all the standard wallpapers, the picture that I was initially trying to add (before I filed the bug) is now in there...5 times. Selecting one of them and clicking "apply" puts that picture on my desktop.

However, the png and gif that I just tried to add are not in that list.

ok, so its not a format support issue, but one with adding new papers. this does work in trunk (4.1) thankfully =)

Hi,

I'm sorry for that but i think this bug should be reopened. I cannot set JPEG wallpapers. PNG wallpapers work fine. I have plasma 4.1.2.
What I noticed also is that konqueror/dolphin do not display previews of JPEGs. All other previews work (png, svg, ...)

Maybe a library issue ?

This works fine for me now under 4.1.

Thanks!
